Deconversion

Atheists spend huge amounts of time trying to get Christians to abandon their superstitions. Similarly,
Christians spend huge amounts of skullduggery trying to convert atheists to Christianity. Yet both types of
conversion are exceedingly rare. In the west, all religions are gradually disappearing, but not because anyone is
converting. Each generation is more secular than their parents, and they stay that way for their entire lives. The
drift is driven by development — economics, education and travel.

If atheists want to speed up this trend, they should work for greater development. They should focus on
disrupting the indoctrination of the very young not on debating with adult Christians, e.g. teaching children to
question what they are told and to use reason. But basically, atheists can relax. The Christians are gradually and
inevitably disappearing, even in the USA.
